Sculpture of Stefan Batory by Gabriel Vagó

Photograph of a sculpture depicting Stefan Batory chiseled by Hungarian artist Gabriel Vagó, located in the Colosvar seminary founded by the King in 1583. The sculpture was placed there in connection with the four hundredth anniversary of Batory's birth. Information provided in the magazine 'Świat',1938, no. 6, p. 2 (public domain, reprinted after the Mazovian Digital Library).

A modernised reading of the text.

Stefan Batory, King of Poland and Duke of Transylvania, founded a higher school at Koloswar in Transylvania, from which the Hungarian university was later established. Two years later, in 1583, he founded a seminary, which was named after Batory.
In 1933, the 400th anniversary of Stefan Batory's birth, the seminary building received a beautiful statue of its founder. This beautiful sculpture was created by the Hungarian artist Gabriel Vagó.
